An evil conscience, listening there, could have heard the most peaceful, beautiful, and mournful sounds of nature only as strains of a calling hell. Suddenly the silent, oppressive, surcharged air split to a short, piercing scream. Anson's big horse stood up straight, pawing the air, and came down with a crash. The other horses shook with terror.

Wellman was totally unprepared for this and a shiver ran down his spine when he saw Howe, his face apparently surcharged with emotion, turn suddenly towards his client and roughly thrust away her hands.

The poet ponders life long and deeply and then gives forth an interpretation in artistic form that is surcharged with the very quintessence of life.
If the experimenter is a person with a small amount of the electric fluid in his nature, that is negatively charged, the water being positive will draw down or attract the twig, hence the downward movement.
